run Visio 2002 and 2003 on same PC

[Scott]

I recall once happening across an article describing how to run both Visio
2002 and 2003 on the same PC. Naturally, I didn't need the info then but I do
now... I've searched MSDN but didn't turn up anything useful. Anyone know of
the article in question -- or have specific suggestions for running both
versions on one box?

Thanks,

you can install them both on the same system, the issue is that bouncing
back and forth between them is a little annoying because they insist on
checking out the system after the other one is started/closed.

Thanks, Al. At various times in the past I've had two versions of Word and
the installer seems to want to run whenever you switch from one to the other.
It's annoying, for sure, but if that's the only likely interference I'll give
it a try with both Visio versions.

Hi Scott,

the installer stuff is definitely the only point. I have both Visio 2002 and
2003 on my system since the release date of Visio 2003, and it never caused
any problems.

Best regards,
Markus

Excellent -- thanks. Nothing like the voice of experience...
